Foreing policy

Since 1991 when Kazakhstan obtained its sovereignty the cauntry has faced the problem of pursuing an independent foreind policy. In establishing diplomatic relations Kazakhstan has already managed to present itself to world community as a reliable partner, a well-wishing ally and a devoted companion on the way to civilization. The first and the most important step was done- the Semipolatinsk nuclear testing ground, which had poisoned the environment over an enormous territory for 40 years was closed. Kazakhstan was able to do what was onse impossible- to settle its border problems with China. A growth in trade has allowed Kazakhstan and China to develop major business in the oil and gas industry.
